    I wonder if anyone could help me upgrade to a better cigar for a similar price to the Dominican 4000's. I pay 34.95 for 25 shipped

    thanks
    I'm confused.

    Think of it this way - it's like those people who drive cars covered in duck tape, live in trailers, never see the dentist (or the shower), and constantly run their mouths about how hard life is. BUT, they always have a fresh pack of cigarettes, cheap beer in the fridge, and their DIRECT TV!!!

    I want to send this guy some cigars just b/c of his wildy creative username! It's crazy!

    this thread was a flop. I apologize for the thread.

    however I overstated my financial situation. I am not a bum on the street who doesn't shower.

    I just make a small salary and pay my bills

    I meant I love Macanudo and Montecristo but cant afford them I don't expect anyone to help me find them for 34.95 for 25.

    I was thinking cusano M1, La Unica, or other bundles of value.

    again, Im sorry for the thread.

    Thanks for the clarification.. to be honest, I kinda took your first post as an attempt at mooching!

    If I have time today, I'll look around online for some good values, I know of some, I just can't seem to put a name on them.

    Personally, if it came down to a choice between quality or quantity, I would probably chose quality and smoke a few less cigars per week.

    Look at this situation from our point of view: Would you walk into your local cigar shop and ask them for cheaper cigars, or complain about not having enough money for their nicer sticks? Sounds a lot like you are asking for a handout. Maybe I'm wrong.

    If you enjoy the hobby, are there any other ways you can support this hobby? Maybe pick up an extra job? Maybe not smoke so much? Maybe you'd be able to smoke better, or at least different sticks.

    And try the search function. It helps.

    you are dead wrong about looking for a handout.

    Now stop, Arty - the dirt poor version of a cigar is (by its very definition) a cigar-ette...
